Dabi - Sparks that light a flame

QUIRK: witch (looking at you Sam)


Touya Todoroki AU


Dabi stared at the girl sitting at the LOV's bar, teasing Shigaraki. She had wandered in by accident, injured and beaten by heroes after being mistaken for a villain.


Toga was the first to notice the strange girl, helping her up. The girl had shuffled through their cabinets pulling out ingredients quickly, still slightly clutching the large gash in her side. She had waved a hand and a small vile of liquid had appeared in a puff of smoke, she chugged it, sighing in relief as the wounds littered across her body glowed a bright F/c. Healing itself.


Dabi was amazed by her quirk and it's simplicity. What he would give to have a quirk that didn't affect him unless he wanted it to.


A small spark seemed to light inside of him as he watched her laugh.


"This isn't going to end well."


~*~*~*~*~


Dabi sighed as he pulled his hood down low, waiting in an alley. He flinched every time a sound echoed, only relaxing slightly as Y/n entered the alley with him.


"Alright what's the report for the week?" He asked bluntly.


"Wow, not even a 'hello', or 'how are you'? Jeez that's cold."


Dabi sighed again.


"Hey babes. How ya been." Y/n froze at Dabi's words, blinking as he mind processed the information.


"Uh, well, uh, the-the heroes have, uh, been planning, a, uh, attack on the last warehouse you guys were at, so don't go back anytime soon."


Dabi nodded, smirking at her new-found nervousness.


The second spark.


She fidgeted with her hands, occasionally rubbing the back of her neck as she stuttered out the rest of the info.


"Yeah that's it." She finished, finally taking a deep breath to calm down.


"Did me calling you babes really make you that flustered?" Dabi teased, poking her side, she squeaked.


"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Dabi laughed.


"You're ticklish? That's comedy GOLD." He laughed, slowly inching towards her, she put her hands up, reaching into her pocket to grab her floating potion.


"Don't." She hissed, a slight smile on her face.


"Everything okay back here?" A police officer asked, reaching for his tazer in his belt.


"Oh? Yeah, my boyfriend was just teasing me." Y/n nonchalantly explained with a large smile, pulling out her phone instead of the potion, Dabi froze.


She set it back in her pocket, keeping her hand therein case the cop advanced.


"You sure? He seems pretty suspicious?" The cop pressed, taking a step forward.


Dabi hesitated, glancing up at Y/n for confirmation.


She nodded, Dabi pushed her behind him, lifting his hand towards the officer, lighting up with flames.


"Well... He's dead." Dabi shrugged, pulling Y/n along as they quickly made their way back towards the bar.


They walked inside, shedding their heavy coats and masks (Stay safe and wear your mask kids) Shigaraki rolled his eyes.


"Why the hell are you back so early?" He hissed, scratching his neck. Y/n shrugged, following Dabi into the main room, flopping onto the couch as he went to grab a beer from Kurogiri.


"Who did you kill this time?" Toga asked phsycotically.


"Eh, some cop that was too nosy." Dabi deadpanned.


"He was more worried than he was nosy." Y/n countered.


"You literally explained the situation and he said 'he seems suspicious.'"


"Says the man covered in purple scars and has jet black hair, wears nothing but black and literally killed him in the end."


"Fair."


~*~*~*~*~


Dabi's head whipped around the battle field as he looked for his teammates, he lit another hero into ash, his eyes landing on a hero mid attack, throwing a knife at Y/n.


His hand reached for her, but she was almost too fast, moving out of the way and throwing a pre-made fire potion at the hero.


She met eyes with Dabi running towards him. She stood back to back with him as the heroes circled them.


"Spinning fire column?" Dabi asked.


"Spinning fire column." Y/n responded she reached into her pocket, throwing a large bottle of grey liquid onto the ground as Dabi's arm lit up.


He shielded her with his body, his arms wrapping around her as he held his ground the tornado around them spitting fire every-which-way.


The third spark


The flames finally stopped nipping at them, Dabi lifted his head, watching as the heroes retreated, glaring as they went to fight other villains.


A singular hero stayed to fight.


"Ah, Shoto, been a while." Y/n smiled.


The hero glanced around, walking into the open arms of the woman, giving her a quick hug,


They "fought" for a good few minutes, throwing fake punches and ice shards.


"How's your mom?"


"Oh she's doing better, the old man finally retired."


"Oh? Did you take his place as #1?"


"No, another kid from my class did. Midoriya, you might recognize the name."


"Oh yeah! Broccoli boy! I remember him, he was pretty annoying."


"Wait wait wait, What the hell is going on." Dabi intervened.


"Oh, my best friend is his older sister." Y/n answered simply.


The


"This can't be happening." Dabi hissed at himself, rubbing his temples.


"I think now is the time to tell us why you're being so weird." Y/n tilted her head.


"Look, that's my little brother." Dabi deadpanned.


Shoto froze.


"Touya you little piece of shit."


~*~*~*~*~


Y/n smiled as she watched Shoto teach Dabi how to play a recent video game that had come out.


She turned to talk to Fuyumi who had appeared beside her, handing her a cup of tea.


"You guys are lucky father isn't home yet, he would not be very happy Touya is here."


"Yeah yeah, he might try to kill him but ill just hit him with one of those sleep potions and you guys can convince him it was a dream.


"You gotta hit him first." Fuyumi laughed, making a joke of a serious threat.


"You know I never miss."


Y/n and Fuyumi laughed together as they made jokes, watching the boys play games as Dabi slowly but surely got the hang of it.


The door burst open, causing everyone to quickly turn, shoving Dabi towards the coat closet.


"Who's that." Endeavor hissed as he walked in the door, looming over everyone as he looked around the room.


"This is Benerie, she's one of my work friends." Fuyumi smiled, Y/n reached out to shake Endeavor's hand her smile faltering as he glared at her.


"Get out, my children don't need distractions." Endeavor ordered.


"Father-"


"End of story." Endeavor cut off Fuyumi making his way towards his bedroom.


Y/n sighed.


"Guess I'll be leaving, let me grab my coat." Y/n announced, opening the closet door, she quickly grabbed Dabi's arm, pulling him out the door, the made their way around the back, walking along the roads as Dabi pulled a hood over his head.


"We really need to figure out a way to cover up those scars of yours."


"Next time, you can just say they're ugly."


"But they're not! They're a part of you! They're just a very obvious give away, as to who you are."


The fourth spark


Dabi smiled as she continued rambling on about how they could cover them.


"I'll miss them though, they're a good look on you."


"So you think I'm good looking."


"I never said that, but yes."


Fifth spark


~*~*~*~*~


Dabi let out a huff as Y/n flopped on top of him, her arms wrapping around his waist as they laid on the couch.


"Do you mind?" Dabi hissed.


"No." She responded, looking up at him with a smile.


He rolled his eyes, bringing his hand to rest on her back as her breathing started to slow, as she slowly drifted into unconsciousness.


Sixth spark


Dabi smiled down at her, running a hand through her hair as she softly snored.


~*~*~*~*~


Dabi hissed as the hero sliced his arm, leaving a large wound to bleed through his heavy coat.


Y/n turned as the hero she fought fell to the ground unconscious.


She watched as Dabi fought hero with an immunity quirk.


"He's gonna die without me"


She ran over, pushing Dabi to the side as she reached into her pocket, smashing a cloud potion on the ground, the hero froze up, his vision strained from the clouds.


Dabi coughed as he watched the fog fade, watching as Y/n wrapped her arms around the hero, putting them in a headlock.


She bobbed her head, clearly singing to herself as the hero tried to scratch her arm, begging for air.


The hero eventually went limp, falling to the ground with a thud.


Y/n took a step forward, crumbling to the floor as she looked down at her leg, rolling her eyes as she saw the large gash.


"Well shit... Dabi you go keep fighting, I'll play dead till they try to take me away." She smiled one last time, flopping onto the ground her eyes closing as she let herself bleed onto the ground.


Seventh spark


Dabi rolled his eyes getting up to guard her 'dead' body.


~*~*~*~*~


Dabi laid in his bed, quietly sleeping through the day as the door creaked open.


Y/n slipped into the room, sitting on the bed near his legs, smiling as she saw him shift.


She laid down.


"Babe~" She called, Dabi groaned.


"What." He hissed back.


"We should cuddle."


"No, go to sleep."


"Please~"


"Fine."


Eighth spark


And there was soon a large flame ignited in his heart, and not even a bucket of water could douse the feeling.
